I came across my wool roving and felting supplies the other day. I love the feel of wool and really enjoy working with it. I was teaching myself to felt animals when my parents became ill and I didn't have time to work on it anymore. So, I packed everything up and put it away. It was so exciting to try my hand at it again. Thinking about spring coming and Easter I decided to try and make a little bunny. I was surprised at how fast this little guy came together! I got it done while watching TV the other evening. The supplies called for a light pink for the inside of the ears. Well, I didn't have that color, so I took my white roving and dyed it with some strawberry juice, got the perfect light pink. Not having the correct color sent my on a search for wool roving. I was surprised to learn that Walmart has it online, it is also available on ebay and amazon. I have a friend that lives in Montana that raises sheep, am going to check with her to see if she has roving for sale. If she does I will share her address here.
Here are a few pictures of my little felted bunny.

Little Bunny all done!
Working on this little guy gave me a nice break from the big quilt repair job I'm working on . The double wedding ring that I shared in an earlier post. If you like wool and have thought about doing something like this, I would encourage you to try it. So much fun!!
Blessings to All,
Jan
